    they all seem nice. the savage seems like a good deal, and the m44 can be found just about everywhere for that price

    Weatherby MK XXII These rifles shoot very well for the most part also a good boys trainer as it can be set for single shot worth the price for gun alone. scope is gravy on the deal.

    If it's a Yugo Model 48, 8mm Army Rifle? Rather then a Czech? Go for it, if the bore is in good shape. There decent small ring Mausers, well worth $49.

    Yes, I agree. The Weatherby XXII is the one I'm most interested in, followed by the Benelli R1. I already own a Model 48 Mauser, though I paid about twice the cost of this one. The M44 Russian is common but the one I saw is marked as made by Tula, which I believe is not seen as often. I wondered about the Colt Cowboy's price. I like the gun but am not crazy about the transfer bar or "fake" case hardening colors. Still, in a few years I might wish I owned it. If I had the cash, I would buy them all. Most likely will get the Weatherby and maybe the Benelli next month. Thanks for your replies.

    Stamped 1944 and Tula isn't that common.
